Subject: Contact Mr. Ferinard For Your Confirmable Bank Draft.....
Greetings,
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $800.000.00 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since that time. Then I went and deposited the Draft with CITY LINK Couriers Limited, West Africa, I travelled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of March.
What you have to do now is to contact the CITY LINK Couriers Limited as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge and Insurance premium.
The only money you will send to the CITY LINK Couriers Limited to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($150.00 US) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $150.00US Dollars.
I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in the case of demurrage.You have to contact the CITY LINK Couriers Limited now for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow;
Contact Person: Mr.Victor Fedinard
Email Address: citylinkservices1313@gmail.com
Telephone:+(234)803 806 9176
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address() and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking Pin Number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $150.00 US Dollars for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Vera Blair.
